Workout Week Sept 21st – 27th
I have two more weeks to go and my second time through P90x will be completed. Here is what I did for workouts and a few examples of how they were.
9-21
This workout is probably my second favorite because it gives you the best upper body workout. I wont be able to explain every exercise in detail so click above for that but all I can say is lots of push ups. Make sure you have a recovery drink after and a protein shake for lunch. Don’t forget Ab Ripper X.
9-22
Plyometrics
I used to dislike this one cause there was lots of jumping but now I use it as a way to entertain my daughter. In this workout you do an exercise called jump knee tuck. Its the hardest thing I have ever done. Try jumping in place but the object is to hit your hands with the top of your knees. Its super difficult but you sweat like hell.
9-23
Back & Biceps
If you are not good at pull ups then look no further. You will get good at doing pull ups and curls in this workout. I used to be able to only do like 1 pull up and now the second time through P90X I can now do almost 13 in a row. My resultshave been awesome since and my upper body strength is fantastic. Don’t forget to do your Ab Ripper X as well.
9-24
All I can say here is that Yoga X has made me incredibly flexible and actually helps with any soreness your having. I actually showed my father in law and few of these moves because he has had a sore back all his life. He was truly impressed with my knowledge as well as the fact that the pain started going away. He pretty much got bored with his exercises and his body got used to the movements that it wasn’t doing anything for him. Another great reason to look at the coaching opportunity. If you practice and help other why not benefit from it.
9-25
I will have to admit that I have skipped this workout a few times and finally did it this week. I will never do that again because I was sore for 3 days after. Wall squats for 90 seconds and then wall squats with one leg in the air. Pretty intense if you ask me. Recovery drink is a for sure after this workout. Oh and don’t forget Ab Ripper X. I can now do the last workout with my legs in the air and get through 40 leg raises.
9-26
Kenpo X
I will be writing more in depth about this workout because its so enjoyable. Lots of action with punches and kicks. The best part is the end or the sports bonus. 3 different moves and 3 different sports. Basketball, football, baseball. I also was throwing my brother a Bach party today. It consisted of limo bus, casino and the bars. We got home at 6 am. OUCH!
9-27
REST DAY. Thank God for this rest day as I didn’t move from the couch. Bach party was fun but man I am paying for it. Yes my wife hated me but expected me to be worthless today. I want to encourage anyone reading that they should look into the free account that beach body gives you. It has a similar look to face book but not as intense. If you intend on buying anything now or in the future then consider becoming a coach. Why? Well make money and a sweet discount for you.
Workout Week Sept 14th – Sept 20th
9-14
Chest and Back- I can’t tell you enough how much I love this workout. Today I had a lot on my mind. Tomorrow my wife is one week over due with our second and the anticipation is killing me. I still managed to do Ab Ripper and the huge amounts of pull ups and push ups.
9-15
Plyometrics-I had to change this workout from morning to after work. There is so much jumping that I wake up my wife when I do this workout. I really dislike Rock start hops for some reason but the sports bonus is kick a$$. You fake throw a baseball 20 times, fake throw a jump shot 20 times and you fake jump tires like a football player does in practice. Cheesy but effective. We also found out that they are inducing on Friday! Oh Yeah
9-16
Shoulder and Arms-I now can focus on working out again as the scheduling is now in place for Friday. This workout is a great way to distress. Lots of lifting so make sure you have plenty of different dumbbells laying around. Don’t forget your Abs. AB Ripper X for 15 minutes
9-17
Yoga X-This is what connects everything together so don’t miss this workout. If you can do the full hr and a half then you are golden for the rest of the DVDs. Don’t forget to have a mat and block. We are going in at 3am to induce so I had to make this one count.
9-18
Baby Boy is born. Yes we were surprised and I jumped higher than the bed when we found out. Good thing I did Plyometrics! We welcome Nico Rosario Licari to the world. My life is complete as I have a wonderful family to take care of. Good thing I have had such great results. I’m in top shape and healthy. Legs and Back Skipped!
9-19
Kenpo X-Lots of kicking and punching so get ready to get your aggression out. The easiest workout for me and quickest. Only 50 minutes long. Do not forget to take your recovery drink as it will help get back lost energy and nutrients.
9-20
REST DAY! We can bring home the new baby and my wife from the hospital. Oh did I mention a lazy day of football.
